I'm currently dealing with mites for the first time and I honestly just straight up hate the little things. I got the mites back in December from the kinked pewter BHB sent me, but I put of treating for them because I was going on vacation and couldn't check for adverse reactions to PAM on a regular basis. I QT in a separate room that I keep the door closed to all the time thankfully and I sprayed the hallway down so only QT appears to have mites. These little things are just horrible and I'm afraid they are going to spread to the rest of my collection.

I know some people accept them as part of the hobby and I guess I could see that as being true if I was getting imports, but I don't think any reputable breeder should be sending out snakes that might (or do) have mites. I really hope I never have to deal with these again and I'm glad I didn't have to deal with these when I first got into the hobby. I would not have been prepared to deal with mites at this time last year and I also didn't really understand the importance of QT back then too so I'm glad my luck held out for as long as it did.

In a slightly related off topic note, my cat and dog also managed to bring fleas back with them from my mom's cats. All I need now is some gecko mites and lice and everyone can be miserable and on medication.

I really hate bugs, especially parasites so I just had to rant about it for a minute, thanks for bearing with me.
